Kevin considering the amount of goods you create that you have so few errors is amazing.  There are tricks to ensure that everything is right the first time, every time but you all ready know them I am sure.

Kevin, slow down and smell the coffee, your trying to get to much done in a short amount of time. If people are requesting these things, you'll have to tell them that you need more time. This rushing around to get everything done, is no life. Set up a schedule, and stick to it. There's no need for you to always be in a rush, plus, it's not healthy.

That s#@ks Kevin.i been there it's never fun but laughable later. By the way it is still great cutting.don't stress it and take it easy.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy Kevin. Take a short break for maybe 5 or 10 minutes LOL then go at it again.

 

Good luck mate

Kevin take it easy. I scroll saw no more than 4 Days a week and thats only 5 hours at a time. and when I mess it up I just throw it away and start over. Are these paying orders or are they for free free. I had an order for a wedding cake topper ($25) I didn't take an down-payment. I showed them what I would make but they kept adding to it. I had 2 completed and they wanted it a little different, So I just told them that i would not make it and they finally said that they would take what I had done but I told Thames that I had distressed the others go and find it someplace-else i have now quit taking orders. There is less stress in it..

I was mesmerized at try  different thinks with my friend waching every move.LOL i decided to but him on some of the tasks so he can get hands on experience .He used my new glue up table now more than have.he wasn't a good planner helper as he would just watch the wood come thru and forget about handing it to me to run thru again..And then the questions never stopped distracting me .now i have to make a third one,like i need to waste more of my sleeping time.i was wore out yesterday from these two items.yoah i forget too!

Customers can be our bread with butter or the reverse,The good ones seem to be far and few between but when they do come our way it rally makes our day!Thanks IKE

They look great Kevin, even if you do have to do them again. I do agree with everyone else though. Slow down, keep to a manageable schedule, and give the customers a realistic completion date taking into account all the work you currently have agreed to do for others. If they need a rush job, charge them a bit extra. Your customers should pay for the rush service, not you.

Who are you competing with Kevin?  We don't care if you cut one item a week. We know you live to scroll but maybe you need to smell the roses a bit more often. You are only competing with yourself!!!!!!!  Just slow down.  Read twice cut once.

Ah Roses I do take the opportunity to smell flowers if at all accessible in my path.I've so much wood that needs to be cut up in little pieces,run thru the planer and scrolled.I'm in a daze as to what to do everyday.If an order comes in I'm cool but with out orders I'm lost.I do cut things i like especially religious but those patterns get lost quick around here.I on my way to heaven so what ever i can do in the mean time is just a distraction ,lol tThanks!

Keven, they still look great. I love the cedar. We all make mistakes so don't think your alone on that one. Maybe you can cut that piece where the y is missing and just cut another y and glue the pieces together and then paint it to hide the seams.

[penquin]

They look super, and you are not along. I think we all have done miss spells on names and redone them over and over sometimes.
